Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked rice, taco seasoning, and salsa. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Assemble the Pie: Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the chicken and rice mixture into the crust and spread it evenly. Top with shredded cheese.
- Cover the Pie: Place another layer of pie crust over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Serve: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired.
